"I'm going to miss you so much." Matt said. We are currently at the airport all cuddled up, waiting for my plane to get here. I'm leaving for nine months with Calum, Ashton, Luke, and Michael for touring.

"How do you think I'll be? You were barely gone for a week or two and I already missed you a lot." I said sadly. I hugged him tighter, not wanting to let go.

"But those three months will go by fast as long as you're having fun." he replied as he also hugged me tighter.

"Passengers for flight 3697 make your way to the gate. Please and thank you." We heard from the intercom.

"I guess this is a goodbye for three months?" Matt asked as we stood up and made our way to the gate. The guys were a few feet in front of us. I think they also want to say goodbye to Matt.

"Not at all. It's a see you later, not a goodbye." I looked at up at him and he looked down at me.
"Well, see you later." he whispered. We went for a hug and we stayed like that for a while until Calum came and told me it's time to go.
"See you later Matt." I said as I pulled away and quickly kissed him on the cheek. I slowly made my way to the gate. The guys were saying their goodbyes to Matt, until they were at my side while we walked through the gate.

We got into the plane and I took my seat next to the window. When I looked outside the window, Matt was looking at me through the glass. I put my hand on the window and he put his hand on the glass. We kept looking at each other, until the plane took off and we couldn't see each other anymore.

"You okay there?" Luke asked from the seat next to me.
"Yeah. I'm just going to sleep until we get to Idaho. Can I use your shoulder as a pillow?" He chuckled and nodded his head. I lay my head on his shoulder and I fell asleep.

"We've been sitting in this hotel room for one hour, doing nothing. One hour!" I complained.
"Well what do you suggest we do!?" Michael asked.
"Explore, I don't know. Let's just do something before I die of boredom!" I whined. I swear to god, if we don't get out of here in the next minute I will cry. Countdown starting now.

"Guys, lets just go before she starts crying again." Ashton said. All the boys agreed and got up from their seats. I jumped up from my seat in excitement. Calum was walking out the door and I decided to jump on his back.

"Whoa!"
"Can I have a piggy back ride? Yes, okay." I said as I wrapped my legs tighter around his waist.
"To the lobby we go!" marched Ashton. We walked towards the elevator and stepped in. Scratch that, Calum walked.

Luke pressed the button with the number one and we waited until we reached the lobby. The elevator made a ding noise, signaling that we have made it to the lobby. The elevator doors opened and we walked into the lobby.

"It's so dead in here." I said.
"Literally." Calum said.
"What do you mean?" asked Michael.
"That plant is literally dead." Luke answered for Calum.

"Oh. Well where are we going?" asked Ashton as we walked out of the hotel and out into the streets of Idaho.
"Grandmas house!" I sang. Everyone stopped walking and turned around to look at me. Even Calum, who can't see me that good but still managed to look at me.

"Of course she'd say that. It's Lupe." Luke said.
"You know it Lucas." I said as I gave him a pat in the back. He was right beside Calum so that was an advantage.

Suddenly, I fall off of Calum's back and land on my butt, on concrete. Ow!
"My butt! Owwww that hurt! My cute butt is in pain!" I cried out.
"Oh my gosh."
"Here we go again."
"This is the fifth time she falls this day."
"How the hell did she manage to do that?"

I just sat there for about five minutes trying to make the pain go away. When I finally opened my eyes, the guys weren't in front of me. Oh lord. I lost them. Hold on, they lost me! I'm calling child services on them.

I quickly got up from my butt and ran towards the end of the street. I wasn't even halfway down the street when I heard a scream in an ally that's at my right. I quickly stop and turn to walk in the ally.

"Leave. Me. Alone!" someone yelled. It sounded like a girl. I walked deeper into the ally when I saw an older man, trying to kill a girl? Oh my gosh. What if I die? Holy shit I'm going to die. But I have to help that girl out.

I ran as quickly and quietly as I can. His legs were open so once I was behind the guy, I kicked him right in his pee pee. He groaned and fell to the floor facing up. I jumped on him and started punching him until he knocked out.

I quickly got off of him and grabbed the girls arm, dragging her behind me. I ran about two blocks away from the alley with the girl behind means then I stopped.

The girl wrapped her arms around me and started.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you so much. I thought I was going to die." she cried out. I wrapped my arms around her tightly and rubbed her back.

"Shh shh, it's okay. What's your name and how old are you?" I asked.
"Grace and I'm 14. What about you?" she asked as she pulled away and wiped her eyes.
"Hey there Gracey. I'm calling you Gracey whether you like it or not. My name is Lupe and I also happen to be 14." I said. She looked at me and I smiled a huge smile at her.

"Oh that's really cool. Are you by yourself?" Gracey asked.
"No, well at the moment yes cause I lost my dad and uncles. And why are you by yourself? Aren't you supposed to be at home with your family?" I asked. I actually feel like an officer.

"Oh and uhm no. Actually I don't have a family. They died in an accident when I was five. And right now I'm supposed to be in a foster home but I hate it there so I ran away." she explained. She felt uncomfortable telling me this. I mean come on the girl barely even knows me and I already now a little bit of her past.

"Oh I'm sorry. Wait, so you don't have a family?" I asked. I had a brilliant idea.
"Uhm, no?" she answered confused.
"Do you want to be a part of a family with one girl and four idiotic boys?" I asked excitedly. Her eyes lit up at the mention of being a part of a family, but then it changed when I mentioned the guys.

"I don't know. Who's the girl?" she asked.
"Me, silly billy. It'll be fun I swear! Wait, do you have a passport?" I asked.
"Yeah and my medical stuff and birth certificate. Those are the only things I took with me when I ran away." she answered, showing me a little book and a few papers that were folded.

"Okay, but please!? It'll be so much fun! I promise." I tried convincing her.
"Fine fine. I'll be a part of this family."
"Yaaaaaay!! Let's go look for them." I said as I grabbed her arm and we started running back to the hotel.

"Lupe, where have you been!?" Calum asked as I barged into the room.
"I should be the one asking you guys that question! Yall left me alone after I fell off you back. I could've died you know! Sorry Grace." I rambled.

"Oh yeah. Wait, who's she?" Calum said as he pointed at Grace. I swatted his arm and gave him a glare.
"Ow!"
"Pointing is rude! And this here is Grace! Grace, that's Calum, my dad and those other three losers are my uncles Luke, Ashton, and Mikey. Luke is going to be your dad." I said as I pointed and every one of them.

"Wait what?" they all said.
"We're adopting her. Well, Luke is going to adopt her." I said.
"Uh can I talk to you Lupe? For a second, real fast." Luke said. He didn't even let me answer because he grabbed my arm and dragged me out of the room into the hall.

"I can't adopt her, what are you talking about? I'm not ready!" Luke rambled. I slapped Luke across the face trying to get him to chill.
"Lucas! Chill, what do you mean you aren't ready!? You treat me like if I was your child! You are ready." I said.

"You really think so? What about a passport or her birth certificate?"
"Luke, yes and she has those things. She got them before she ran away." I said.
"Ran away? How did you even meet her?" he asked.

"Oh well uhm a guy wanted to kill her and i saved her. I beat the guy up and we ran away from him." I answered.
"Oh wow. Well I guess I'll adopt her. That way maybe you can stop pulling pranks on us." he joked.

"Oh you wish! Finally, another girl my age!" I yelled.
"Yeah yeah. Lets go tell them the news." he said. We walked towards the door and walked in.

"Grace, welcome to the family!"
